Casing for magnetic tape cassette

Abstract

A casing for holding a magnetic tape cassette which is formed into a box shape by bending and joining a blank of a transparent .[.blastic.]. .Iadd.plastic .Iaddend.plate material which has one surface, constituting the inner surface of a casing, on which grooves and a minutely roughened area are provided except for on a predetermined portion including at least one transparent window and the other surface, constituting the outer surface of said casing, on which printing and/or an uneven surface pattern is provided in a predetermined portion except for said transparent window.

We claim: 
     
       1. A casing for holding a magnetic tape cassette which is formed into a box shape by bending and joining a blank of a transparent plastic plate material which has one surface, constituting the inner surface of a casing, on which grooves and a minutely roughened area are provided except for on a predetermined portion including at least one transparent window and the other surface, constituting the outer surface of said casing, on which printing and/or an uneven surface pattern is provided in a predetermined portion except for said transparent window. 
     
     
       2. The casing for holding a magnetic tape cassette according to claim 1, wherein a window frame of said transparent window is formed by pressing to have an uneven pattern. 
     
     
       3. The casing for holding a magnetic tape cassette according to claim 1, wherein the outer surface of a window frame of said transparent window is printed to form a decorated surface. 
     
     
       4. The casing for holding a magnetic tape cassette according to claim 1, wherein said minutely roughened area is formed in .[.said.]. grooved lattice pattern. .Iadd. 
     
     
       5.  A casing for holding a magnetic tape cassette, said casing: (a) being formed into a box shape by bending and joining a blank of transparent plastic plate material;   (b) having a first surface that constitutes the inner surface of said casing;   (c) having a lattice pattern on a portion of said first surface formed by grooves in said first surface;   (d) having minutely roughened areas on said first surface in between said grooves;   (e) having at least one transparent window where no grooves and no minutely roughened areas are formed;   (f) having a second surface that constitutes the outer surface of said casing; and   (g) having printing and/or an uneven surface pattern on said second surface except for said transparent window. .Iaddend.
